Please contact our Bayville, NJ practice today if you would like to learn more, or if you’re ready to schedule a visit.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that’s also commonly known as “laughing gas.” While it isn’t guaranteed that you’ll laugh, breathing in the gas does have a soothing effect on patients. The mask will stay comfortably fitted over the nose throughout the procedure, and you should start to feel calmer and more content within minutes of exposure. Better yet, the effects of nitrous oxide also wear off quickly, which means that you’re free to return to work, school, or errands without any extensive downtime.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is a stronger option that is administered through prescribed medication. Our team will provide instructions on when to take the medication prior to your appointment; once the effects take hold, patients should enter a deep state of relaxation while remaining aware enough to respond to requests from our doctors and staff members. When choosing oral conscious sedation, patients must make arrangements for an escort to bring them to and from our office, as they will not be capable of driving themselves.
